Banana And Coconut Cream Custard Bread Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Jolielives / All my dishes 1 month, 1 week ago My first attempt at combining Coconut Custard & Banana Bread. Living over a Cafe, in the center of a 1 stoplight town on Main Street gives me the opportunity to field test my results on different palates. So far, not one person hasn't asked for seconds. So, I think it's a good start!... More Prep:30m Cook:75m Servings:1520	Jolielives

Ingredients

*******For the Bread********

1 1/2 Cups Flour (I use Oat Bran Flour, but any kind will do)

2 1/4 Baking Powder

1/2 Cup Room Temp. or Soft Butter (Any Shortening will suffice)

1/2 Cup Sugar (I use Raw Sugar, but any Sweetening will do = to 1/2 C Sugar)

1/2 teaspoon Lemon Zest (I like this but you can omit if you don't have on hand)

2 Eggs (Either pre-scramble in a separate bowl or mix inside of Bananas + Mixture.)

3 or 4 Throw Away Ripe Bananas (Mine were starting to ferment. I had 3 medium black Bananas)

1/2 Cup Shredded Coconut

2 Tablespoons Coconut for top of Bread Dough (?)

*********Coconut Custard**********

Coconut Custard Mix (I had an old mix kicking around, in a Jell-O type box)

2 Cups Milk (I use 2% Milk when I use dairy. Next time I'll use Almond Milk.)

Directions

****Bread Mixture First

Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees

You'll need 2 Bowls, 1 Medium sized & 1 Large one.

In the Medium sized bowl, mix together the Flour & the Baking Powder. I sifted them both, but you do not have to. Set aside.

In the Large Bowl:

Mix together the soft Butter, Sugar & Lemon Zest.

Add in the peeled Bananas & mix well. Add the 2 beaten Eggs & continue to mix throughly. Then add in the Coconut Flakes & mix well. Set aside.

****For the Custard

I cheated did it in the microwave.

In a Medium sized bowl, pour in the Custard mix & add the 2 Cups of milk. Put into the microwave for 2 Minutes. Take out & stir. Place back into microwave for 2 more minutes, then take out & stir. Repeat 1 more time. The total time for the custard in the microwave is 6 minutes.

Note: The Custard needs to be stirred every 2 minutes. After the 5th minute in the microwave, the mixture expands. So do not do what I did & put it in a shallow bowl unless you want Custard all over the bottom of your microwave.

*****Bringing It All Together

While the Custard is in the microwave, pour 1/2 of the Flour/Baking Powder Mixture into the Sugar, Bananas, Eggs + Mixture & blend thoroughly. Keeping the Custard in the microwave stirred & then back into the microwave while you do so, add the other 1/2 of the Flour + Mixture into the Bananas + Mixture & make sure you scrape the sides so it's all mixed well.

When the Custard is done, the Bowl will be HOT. Carefully pour 1/2 of the Hot Custard Mixture into the Flour + & Bananas + Mixture. Mix well. Add the rest of the Custard & make sure it's well blended. It will be soupy.

Grease a Large Loaf Pan & then pour the Mixed Ingredients into the Bread Pan. Sprinkle the Coconut flakes all over the top.

Put the mix into the oven. At 1 Hour, stick a knife into the center of the bread. If the knife comes out clean, then remove the bread. If the knife isn't clean, keep cooking the Bread & check it every 5 minutes. If the top is perfectly brown & the knife does not come out clean when inserted into the cooking bread, then cover the Bread with Foil & continue cooking.

When knife comes out almost clean or clean, remove bread from oven. Turn out from Bread Pan & let cool for at least 20 minutes. It needs to rest & set before cutting.

Wrap whatever is left in an air tight container. The bread is softer & the flavors stronger the next day.

This is Goooood Stuffff.

Enjoy!

I like this and if you don't mind, I am going to use up some of the black walnuts that are strewed all over the back yard in mine. My silly dog will eat as many as I can crack, but don't want to clog her up.

I forgot....
I added 2 Tablespoons of Banana Liquor to this. When I make it around the Holidays, I may add a tad of Dark Rum.
I also wanted to note that if you, like me have some old box of unused Custard kicking about your pantry & it would taste yummy with Bananas, try it in place of the Coconut Custard.
My only recommendation is that you add some of whatever flavor Custard you have to the Bread Mix. I think Chocolate, Vanilla or Strawberry Custards would all be amazing mixed with Bananas. But then I really like Bananas & what's so cool is that they're so good for our hearts too.
Please let me know what you come up with.
Thank you my friends.
